Obadiah 10-12
The Voice
10 because of your violent history against your brother Jacob.
Shame will envelop you,
and your nation will be destroyed forever.
11 You just stood there, doing nothing,
while strangers ransacked their city,
While invaders rushed through the gates and divided up Jerusalem for themselves.
You might as well have been one of them.
12 You should never have gloated over your brother’s tragedy that day
or been secretly happy about all their misfortune.
You should never have celebrated the people of Judah’s decimation.
You should never have acted so arrogantly
on the day they suffered so much.
Obadiah 10-12
New International Version
10 Because of the violence(A) against your brother Jacob,(B)
you will be covered with shame;
you will be destroyed forever.(C)
11 On the day you stood aloof
while strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
and cast lots(D) for Jerusalem,
you were like one of them.(E)
12 You should not gloat(F) over your brother
in the day of his misfortune,(G)
nor rejoice(H) over the people of Judah
in the day of their destruction,(I)
nor boast(J) so much
in the day of their trouble.(K)
